Dancing in the Park

A few days ago I had the enormous pleasure of dancing in the park.  Near where I live, there are free dance lessons every week in a popular park and people who don't know each other dance together...it is an innocent and lovely way to build a community.  In this age of insulated, separate lives, where doors are triple locked and alarmed, when we are so fearful simply walking down the street alone - I think this dance initiative is so beautiful.  It gave us the chance to connect without words and from our hearts.  There was humour, positivity, and movement.  There is something beautiful about letting your body melt with the music, and being surrounded by other souls lost in honest expression.
